Etkin’s Price

What is WonHundred Word Wednesdays? It’s when a group of amazing authors and I write 100 word stories all based on the same short prompt and post them. All the variations are fun to read.

Kiana shivered glancing up the mountainside. Etkin’s hold was up there, somewhere. She was to face him alone and his mood matched their weather: inclement.

Don’t forget to read the other’s takes on the prompt. More stories go up throughout the day. Be sure to check our page on Facebook for updates as everything becomes available: WonHundred Words.
